Sydney Sixers are favorites to win
The Sydney derby takes place at the Sydney Cricket Ground on Saturday evening as Sydney Sixers take on Sydney Thunder in the 2021-22 BBL. The Sixers have the last two BBL titles and are in 3rd place in the table. Sydney Thunder lost their last game but are in 2nd. Read on as we preview this game. This BBL group stage fixture begins at 18:40 local time.
Sydney Sixers won their last game and had a 30 run victory over Thunder in the last Sydney derby. They have players in excellent form with both bat and ball.
Sydney Thunder had won six successive games before falling to Hobart Hurricanes on Wednesday. They will be extremely focused on getting back to winning ways against their city rivals.
Seven Network and Fox Sports will show this game in Australia. In India, you can watch it on Sony Six. Sky Cricket have the rights in the UK with Willow TV showing the match in the USA. In South Africa you can watch it on SuperSport with Sky Sports showing the game in New Zealand.
BBL Live Streaming: Fans can stream the match on Disney+ Hotstar.
Sydney Thunder won the toss and chose to field in the last Sydney derby on Boxing Day. We predict that both captains will insert the other if they win the toss in this game.
The pitch at the Sydney Cricket Ground is no longer the spinning track it was back in the 1990s. Expect the pace bowlers to get plenty of assistance in this match.
The temperature will be in the mid-high 30s with a chance of thunderstorms during the evening in Sydney.

Moises Henriques’ side had no problem in defeating Melbourne Renegades in their last game but Sydney Thunder will be a much tougher proposition in this match. They were at full strength in their last game and they have no new injury worries ahead of this fixture.
The Sixers had their momentum interrupted with games postponed and a couple of defeats but they are no back on track.

Jason Sangha’s side were on the receiving end of a returning Matthew Wade masterclass with the bat at the Marvel Stadium on Thursday. Although they lost their winning run, they still put in a good performance and we do not expect them to make any changes ahead of this match.
Sydney Thunder’s winning streak has ended after six games but they have more than enough talent to start another run of victories.
Matthew Gilkes, Alex Hales, Jason Sangha (c), Daniel Sams, Oliver Davies, Ben Cutting, Baxter Holt (wk), Nathan McAndrew, Gurinder Sandhu, Tanveer Sangha, Mohammad Hasnain
Sydney Sixers won the first seven BBL Sydney derbies but Sydney Thunder have put up far better showings since.

The Sixers are narrow favourites to win this derby match.
Alex Hales is in excellent form and will be the batter to watch in this game. Josh Phillipe will be desperate to return to form against his city rivals.
Josh Philippe, Moises Henriques and Daniel Hughes are our batting tips for Sydney Sixers. Henriques hit two scores of 70+ to start this season’s tournament.

For Sydney Thunder, Mohammad Hasnain, Daniel Sams and Tanveer Sangha are our bowling tips. We expect to see Hasnain picking up wickets in this game.
